Emerging Currencies and Forex Opportunities by Ebele Kemery
Forex markets are the world's largest markets trading approximately 2 billion dollars daily. There has been increased interest in the FX opportunities provided by emerging currencies. Emerging currencies include such relatively unknown currencies as the South African Rand, The Hong Kong and Singapore dollar, and currencies from countries with emerging economies in Asia and Latin America.
Since the recent downturn of the United States dollar many Forex traders and investors are turning their attention to emerging currencies and the Forex opportunities they provide. These emerging currencies are available to average investors now that many FX brokers are adding these currencies to their trading platforms. These currencies are the result of emerging economies and are traded like any other major currencies. These currencies are subject to the same factors that drive major currencies such as monetary policy, political considerations and events, and both external and internal conditions.
As a result of these similarities both experienced and novice traders can use the experiences they have gained by trading major currencies. Many of these countries have institutions and policies in place that mirror the policies of more industrialized countries. For example, South Africa has a central bank which determines rate hikes or cuts much like the United States Federal Reserve. In Hong Kong the Monetary Authority focuses on the stability of the Hong Kong Dollar and the banking sector. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority maintains a system where the Hong Kong Dollar is tied to an anchor currency, usually the United States Dollar or the British Pound.
One can see by the above examples that trading in these currencies carries no more risk than trading in the major currencies and provides Forex traders with new and exciting opportunities. Although relatively unknown, these emerging market currency pairs offer new opportunities for both experienced and new traders. Since market conditions are very similar to those of major currency pairs traders can use the knowledge and experience gained to take advantage of Forex opportunities offered by these emerging currency pairs.
The short term losses likely to be suffered by the United States dollar can be easily mitigated by researching these emerging currencies and taking advantage of the exciting FX opportunities offered.
